SUPPORTING m8 EOE ELEGIEIGAL DEVICES.

Application fled Kay 6, 1935. Serial Eo. 38,49.

This invention relates to an improvement in supporting means for electrical devices; particularly supporting means for an electrical resistance.

An object of the invention is to rovide a supporting clipto enable a id eak resistance to be mounted on an e ectrical condenser of the type em loyed in connection with radio apparatus; t e clip being of such shape as to adapt it for use in carrying a gri leak or connecting the condenser and grid, or 'the condenser alone, in the radio circuit; or to serve all these urposes.

The nature and sec e 0 the invention will appear from the ollowin description, taken with the accompanying rawings, and the novel features are pointed out in the appended claim. But this disclosure is exp anatory only, and I may change the structure actuall shown herein, and resort to variations t at are fairly embraced within the broad and general meanings of the terms in which the appended claim are expressed.

On the drawings I Figure 1 is a top view of an electrical condenser, bearing a supporting clip accordin to my invention;

igure 2 is a side view thereof;

Figure 3 an end view; and

Fi re 4 a perspective view of the clip deta ed.

The same numerals identify the same parts throughout.

An electrical condenser is shown at 1, having a clip 2 attached to each end. Thisoondenser ma be of the same kind as set forth in United tates Patent Nah-197,095, nted June 10, 1924. It comprises M8153 cover plates 3, between which is a stack of electrically conductive elements or sheets of foil, separated b insulation, such as mica, and the p ates an the stack are secured by metallic clamping members 5 and eyelet rivets 6, engagi g both ends of the condenser. Part of he sheets of foil are concondenser, a shank extendin nected to one clamping member and part to the other, so that, when conductors are united to the members 5, the condenser will be in circuit.

The clips 2 have laterally bent portions or feet 7, perforated so as to be engaged and made fast by the rivets 6. Each portion 7 is held against the face of the adj scent memher 5, and each clip is bent across the end of the condenser a inst the back of the adjacent clamp, as indicated at 8, and at a goint flush with the opposite face of the conenser the cli is then bent out and away from the con enser to form a shoulder 52, andthen away at right angles to the face of the condenser to provide a grid leak supporting portion or upright shanlt 10. Each clip has an aperture 11 in its outer end and the part 8 is stamped to cut out a perforated lu 12, to be bent away from the condenser. e grid leakwhen needed is mounted on the condenser by moving the ends of the clips, which are resilient, a little apart and insertin the extremities of the grid leak indicated at G in Figure 2, into the a rtures 11. The condenser with or without e gnd leak is joined in circuit by attaching conductors to the In 12.

Having descri my invention, what I believe to be new and desire to secure and rotect by Letters Patent of the United ia h d1 k rt con enser avm a gm ea suppo ing cli at each end, Each cli havin afoot secure against one face of e con enser, a shoulder adjacent the opposite face of the from the shoulder, and a connecting lug m from a portion of said shank, the shoul er and a portion between said shoulder and the foot and bent outward between the shoulder and the foot In testimony whereof I am: my signature.
